Why do I get the feeling he'll be our next coach?

It is a Ratten to St. Kilda under Richardson scenario.  If team doesn't perform, then Goodwin goes and Yze fills the void.

Ahh yes, that's what it is

 

Watching the last two minutes of Melbourne v North highlights on the AFL website with the Yze news showcasing "Yze and Neitz blitz." brought a tear to my eye. For a number of reasons:

A reminder of how good Yze and Neitz were.

How many good players we had in the team at the time. (Why didn't we win a flag ?)

Seeing Troy Broadbridge holding the ball aloft when the siren sounded. RIP Troy.

 

Great news. The Albanian cheer squad will be back in force at the MCG. (We hope. If restrictions allow.?)

This is something I’ve been advocating for a couple of years now, so it pleases me greatly. 
 

He’ll be head coach in 2022.

Well Chook you were spot on, congratulations for filling us all with some hope on the future direction of our beloved Club.

MFC are really getting their "Ducks" lined up going into 2021, just a few more signatures to ease the anxiety, but this has really lifted my expectations going forward.

Thanks Adem for coming home with your great skill set and thanks MFC for recognising a great signing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it was set in concrete that he was signed , l was over the moon ....Fantastic news  for sure IMV.

Hi all. Been a while.

Yze coming home

Great stuff from you too Chook :lol:

 

Long sleeves will be the new fashion de rigueur at MFC next year. ?

The potential for conflicts between Yze and Goodwin are obvious. The dynamics will be interesting to say the least. 

Yze can't lose. Goodwin fails ..Yze gets the senior job. Goodwin succeeds ..Yze gets the credit.

2021 could be quite dystopian.

Haydn Bunton and Robert Flower are dead so they’re not saying anything. Yes they were all elite players but never achieved the heights of a premiership. While speaking with them why don’t you ask how they feel about that? 

That's just plain disrespectful. Be better.

Doesn't always work that way. My best guess is that assistant coaches take over the top job when their boss gets the chop fewer than half the time. More often, they get moved on, too, as part of a failed group.

Yeah, that sort of thing drives me nuts. Goodwin is on a hiding to nothing.

In my view, the coach is an important cog in the machine, but a cog nonetheless. His ability to utilise the skills of others should be seen as a strength, not a weakness.

Goodwin strikes me as someone who has great relationships with the players at all the clubs he's been involved in. This shouldn't be underestimated - surround him with right coaching staff and we should start to see our results improve.

Welcome back Yze my favourite player!

Hahaha this guy!

Anyway welcome back Ooooze! 


Somewhere in internet heaven, or possibly masquerading under a different user name, Yze_Magic is weeping with joy

Delighted he is back!

Why does the press release say ' joined the Club’s coaching panel for the 2021 season'.  Just one year????

Same wording as the Burgess press release last year...

It's a 3 year deal mate.

Or perhaps the fact that Goodwin wanted Yze to join last year when Jennings left but couldn't get him because of contract, shows that Goodwin knows its an area he needs expert support and is thrilled to have him on board.

If Yze helps us succeed it just proves Goodwin was right to try and get him last year!

Thanks.  But why doesn't the club say that!!! Or at least say nothing at all rather than let it look like one year!!!  Grrrr

This is absolutely not the reason they would have got him.  

 

Good news , does Goodwin become his under study ?  Richardson should be given the pink slip !!!!!!

I suppose the Goodwin haters actually believe they are funny! Poor delusional fools! This is a thread to celebrate the return of a favourite son. Go practice your ridiculous stand-up routines on Big Footy!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
